Publisher's Description: Philip
Doddridge is best known today for his
book The Rise and Progress of Religion
in the Soul, and perhaps by some for
his Family Expositor, which is an
extensive commentary on and paraphrase
of the New Testament. He also served as
principal of an important ministerial
academy for non-conforming churches.
However, one part of Doddridge’s legacy
that has been sorely neglected in
recent years is his hymns. This book
contains 375 of Doddridge’s hymns,
which provide poetic reflection on Old
Testament texts, New Testament texts,
and various occasions pertaining to
Christians and the church.It also
includes a timeline of Doddridge’s
life, a number of helpful indexes, and
various compatible hymn tunes.
